Hello. My Simon Says Stamp kit arrived today and I had some time to play. The stamps are a wee bit different but I likey! And even though they are an American company they give you two 'colour' stamps, one spelt color and one spelt the correct way! Short and sweet tonight, see you on Sunday with my DigiStamp Boutique card.

Hello. Sunday has come around fast again and it's time for my regular DigiStamp Boutique card. This week featuring the adorable Stanley. I coloured with copics and Prisma pencils. The papers are 'country boutique' by FancyPantsDesigns.

Hello. Better late than never - but I have a very good (and very exciting) excuse that I can't share yet. So what did I spend my buttons on this week. Two Die-namics die sets - the latest Blueprints (already out the package and used) and the Zipper set (yet to have a play with that). I also bought a second Smash book, hubby teased me about this as I have only completed two pages in my first book!

I have cards in two magazines that are on the shelves right now. In Papercraft Essentials I am using the free gift set.

And in Get Stamping there's a set of cards using some gorgeous floral Stampin' Up! stamps.So you know the drill - move these mags to the front of the shelves!

And last but certainly not least there are new images just released over in The DigiStamp Boutique. My favourite of the new releases is Stanley and there will be a card to share using this adorable pooch later in the week.

Hello. The other day I showed you my monthly card kit from Simon Says Stamp. Well, I have made my first card using the kit. A really easy one. To be honest I was loathe to cut into all those gorgeous papers!I stamped the sentiment onto vellum and heat embossed. I haven't used vellum for ages but a sheet came with the kit and I had forgotten how great it could look. Some die cut arrows and little sticky, shiny, round things add a finishing touch.I am entering the love notes challenge at Simon Says.

Hello. Woohoo, my first monthly card kit arrived from Simon Says Stamp. Full of gorgeous papers, cardstock, embellies and a stamp set. I can't wait to have a play but it won't be for a few days yet as I am super busy with magazine work (I still can't believe how lucky I am).

And I gave the lollipop to hubby, well, you've got to pacify them somehow!

Hello, I'm Liz McGuire. I have been designing and making cards for over 10 years, serving on numerous design teams and completing assignments for various papercraft magazines.

Along with my cardmaking I like to try my hand at art journaling, memory keeping, smash books etc. And there is also my new obsession - planners and stationery! So there may be the occasional blog post on these topics.

I do have a real job but that's just to earn enough money to buy paper, stamps, pens and, of course, buttons!

Thanks for stopping by and do leave a comment and follow, if you like what you see.
